7-9 Albert Place, Rothesay, Bute

7-9 Albert Place is a mid-19th century, four-storey, three-bay tenement that is part of a terrace featuring shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed from yellow sandstone ashlar and displays a symmetrical design with Classically-detailed elements. It has a prominent shouldered wall-head stack and features a moulded cill course at the first floor, architraved cill courses beneath the second and third floors, and deep dentils beneath the corniced eaves. The first-floor windows are architraved, corniced, and consoled, while the second-floor windows are lugged, architraved, and corniced. The third-floor windows have lugged, architraved surrounds with flanking scrolled details at the base, and stone pilaster mullions are present on the bipartite windows.

On the north elevation facing Albert Place, there are later shops at ground level. The first, second, and third floors each have single windows at the center, with bipartite windows in the outer left and right bays. The south elevation facing West Princes Street has four bays with regular fenestration on the upper floors, featuring stop-chamfered raised margins. Shops flank the central front door that provides access to the flats above.

The building has 4-pane sash and case windows and a grey slate roof. The central corniced wallhead stack has a splayed base, decorative fluting, and dentil detailing, with corniced ridge stacks on the right and left and various circular cans.

The interior includes a curved stair that is cantilevered from the first floor, featuring ornamental cast-iron balusters, although some have been replaced with modern steel. Each floor contains four two-room flats, some of which have moulded plaster cornices in the main room, and the flats facing Albert Place feature plaster ceiling roses.
